Yea the filename issue should be fine, there's a risk of corruption with exFAT though as @tal@lemmy.today mentioned, but if you're just storing steam games or other easily replaceable data, I wouldn't worry about it to much IMO

It does look like there has been major improvements since the last time I tried this kind of shenanigans. Which admittedly has been many years, these days I just don't bother with dual booting so I'm free to just use the native FS wherever needed for the OS I'm using OR I have an intermediary like a SAN or it's on a VM or something

Still though, using a non-native FS in this manner is always more headaches than it's worth, the no journaling is a corruption risk true, but so is using a non-native FS just in different ways lol

IMO, the use case for this drive is storing re-downloadable data is perfectly fine for exFAT, worst case it corrupts and you have to redownload games from steam

Slack but for video games

Lol when introducing new employees to Slack who haven't used it before I always say "It's Discord, but for work" haha

NTFS support on Linux has never been good, iirc it still mounts NTFS as read-only by default. You can remount it as R/W, but it isn't exactly recommended

If you absolutely want to share the steam library between windows and Linux, id recommend either a second disk formatted as exFAT or a new storage partition on the same disk formatted as exFAT

The key here is exFAT, one of the best options for cross-OS compatibility

Edit: @biofaust@lemmy.world I just saw your reply to someone else in the thread that your steam library is on a separate drive already

So that's perfect! Just move everything off it temporarily and format it with exFAT filesystem and you should be fine

"Wanker" is what I remember most of the time, ya f'in wanker lol

for anyone too lazy to read the article

Um, well considering the paid app mentioned in the article is CrossOver not wine, ig that includes you too lol (though, CrossOver does contribute back to Wine, still can't trust them long term because profit....)

I think my ad blocking somewhere broke their comment section, don't get to see the MAGAt craziness today ig :(

!holup@lemmy.world

There's a minimum garlic level, but there is no such thing as a maximum garlic level

JD Vance KILLED THE POPE spread the word!

bro

I'm not entirely sure, but the way it was explained to me was that you take a bunch of pictures and kinda smoosh them together ig, doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me but it's a thing

Heh I'm just a night owl with an 8-5 lolol

I was trying to find the most boring data center picture I could ok, sooo many of them seem to have been taken with a lot of "artistic license" and hyped up LMAO

I so completely and utterly misread their comment, I knew that was a big hit I took lolol

Lol it's the XANA super computer from Code Lyoko

OMG, fuckin sold! LMAO

Lol corrected, thanks

I've always been of the opinion that if you post something publicly, expect it to be used publicly.

I will absolutely declare though that using privately posted stuff or piracy for profit is absolutely abhorrent. I've actually never been a fan of those IPTV providers that profited off of pirated streams either or similar schemes for the same reasons
